From the Paper
"The years following the Civil War ushered in the modern era of cities. It was during the half century between the Civil War and World War I that the move from the country to the city took place. In 1860, less than a quarter of the American population lived in a city or town; by 1890 the figure had reached a third; by 1910, nearly half.
The urbanization of late 19th century America took place at a staggering pace. Chicago, for example, doubled its population every decade but one between 1850 and 1890, growing from 30,000 to over a million in little more than a generation. Los Angeles jumped from less than 5,000 in 1860 to more than 100,000 in 1900, and Denver from nothing at all to 134,000, while Memphis with 23,000 in the earlier year exceeded 100,000 in the latter. In the nation as a whole, the proportion of people living in towns ... "

Abstract
This paper explains that, in Bettina Bradbury's research, between 1861 and 1891, mainly French-Canadian women are found living and working in a harsh way, which demanded general resourcefulness to maintain their families' survivals. The author points out that, in contrast, Joy Parr's study of Ontario's industrial towns after 1880 reveals women's closer connections to the waged labor economy. The paper stresses that Bradbury's depiction of working class women in Montreal is convincing and speaks to Canadian women in terms beyond economics or feminism. The author found that, despite much theory referring to positions of gender as somehow unitary, there are dangers in presuming the realities of working class women in the later 19th century. The paper concludes that this literature helps interpret a contemporary Canadian society, which still tends to disadvantage women.

From the Paper
"Few widows received pension incomes for their husbands had often not had pensions in the forms of employment available to them. A predictable aspect of law so disadvantageous to women was the woman to turn to prostitution for survival or those running brothels or taverns. Joy Parr's work refers to Paris, Ontario and the demand for mainly British factory hands, often women, who were already skilled contributors to factory life before emigration. The idea of women working beyond the home as losing their reputations prevailed in much attention to 'protecting' women in Paris Ontario, as in the Penmans company's payment of quite low wages but also providing recreational and health care services."

Abstract
This paper examines the so-called evolution of the concept of "juvenile delinquency" in late Victorian England. The object of the paper is to show that the notion of youth crime was considerably altered during this period--and has served as an exemplar of present-day systems.
From the Paper
"The notion that juvenile delinquency in particular and crimes committed by child and adolescents in general were separate from crimes committed by adults is considered a recent construct. In fact it was not until the first half of the the 19th century in England that such a notion first came about. A corollary to this was the idea that these types of crimes and criminals should be treated differently from hardened adult criminals..."

Abstract
This paper describes the era of industrialization when Russia began a period of sustained economic growth that many historians have interpreted as the product of a successful policy. The paper makes a case for other reasons, such as Russia?s dramatic population increase combined with a small economic base, as well as increases in capital stock. The paper also proves that the relationship between policy and output is overstated.
From the Paper
"Russia?s weakness and the significance of its failure to industrialize were exposed to the world during the Crimean War (1854-1856) and became the catalyst for a period of economic changes that accelerated towards the end of the 19th century. While Russia remained poor in relation to its European neighbors, significant economic progress was made between approximately 1880 and 1900. Though many of the reforms and policies instituted by the Russian government were designed to foster industrialization, the objectives of these policies were primarily political. Through a focus on domestic policy, the government hoped to modernize the army and raise the Tsar?s international prestige and influence, both of which continued to be reduced by events since the Crimean War. The political impetus behind industrialization and Russia?s unique circumstances (autocracy, its size, chronic fiscal deficits, etc.) shaped the process in unique ways. Industrialization came much later, was generally more uneven and led to less political reform than in other European countries. Russia?s goal was to retake its ?rightful? place among Europe?s Great Powers, not necessarily lift its citizenry out of the quagmire of poverty."

From the Paper
"The late nineteenth century was a time of drastic change in the United States. The country was growing at an unprecedented rate, and the Industrial Revolution was sweeping the nation. This industrial revolution not only affected those working in the newly founded industries and those in the cities, but the revolution impacted the farmers as well. American farmers were, as a whole, dissatisfied with their state of affairs, and began an agrarian movement. The farmers' grievances were multifaceted, and generally had merit, though allegations of an organized conspiracy to thwart the farmers were unfounded. Further, the discontent of the farmers was displayed in the formation of an organized political movement, which never before existed to such a degree. "

From the Paper
"This study will examine the Populist Movement in the United States in the late 19th century. The study will include consideration of the origins and rise of the movement (also officially known as the Peoples' Party) as well as its eventual demise.
As we read in Buck, "The Peoples' or Populist party . . . seems to have been the heir (of the Independent parties of the Granger period and the Greenback party]. The origin of the Populist party is to be found in the St. Louis platform adopted by the Farmers' Alliance and the Knights of Labor in 1889" (Buck, 1933, p. 309).
Clearly, then, as a movement before the formation of the party and as an official party, the Populist movement was rooted in the desire for reform. The members of the Populist movement were driven by a sense that the two major political parties were..."

"he Gilded Age was the name given to the period around 1870 when considerable cynicism set in about politics and other aspects of society. Mark Twain used the term as the title for a book, an attack on the materialism, speculation, and corruption seen in the era after the Civil War (Howard 200). In literary terms, the period as marked by a growing sense of realism. The beginnings of Naturalism as a literary movement came in the 1890s and extended realism with a new emphasis. The realists had insisted on detailing the world in a realistic fashion and to do so by creating reality: "Art's task was not to record but to make life; reality was a constructed, not a recorded, thing" (Bradbury 8). Naturalism took a different view in its origins, and now the task of the novelist was to undertake a scientific study by recording facts, living conditions, and behavior:"

"During the period following the Civil War in 1865 and before the "closing of the frontier" described by historian Frederick Jackson Turner at the turn-of-the-century, the United States of America experienced a burst of expansive growth almost unparalleled in history (Degler, 1970, p. 237). Within this brief window of time - a generation's average lifespan for the period, in fact - the fledgling nation which was only to celebrate its first centennial in 1876 was transformed from a largely agrarian society into an industrialized, multi-ethnic entity which no longer fit the standard categorizations established by its original western European models. It is within that context that the American labor movement as we recognize it today was born.
There had been organized labor unions prior to the Civil..."

" Marketing Practices in the late Nineteenth Century
Introduction
The development of marketing thought as a theory began early in the twentieth century (Bartels, 1976, p. 9). Before that, market and trade behaviors were explained from a macroeconomic viewpoint (Bartels, 1970, p. 32) that characterized man as a social individual and an economic entity (Bartels, 1976, p. 13). Although such theories did discuss buyer behavior in the market, they did not offer a theory from the standpoint of the market or consumer until the contention that consumption is the end and object of production became the basis for marketing writers' taking a more "consumer" viewpoint (Bartels, 1976, p. 13).

Abstract
This paper describes the fast growth of American urbanization from 1865-1920. The writer follows the process of how a city developed - first around a sea port, followed by factories being built. This attracted people seeking employment which in turn lead to the need for better facilities for growing populations.
From the Paper
"The rapid urbanization of the United States was not planned but greatly impacted the economy and the American way of life. In the year 1860 it was recorded that only fifteen percent of the American population lived in cities. As technology advanced into the 1900?s cities grew to occupy almost one third of the American population. By 1920 over half of this country?s population lived in the cities. In recorded history no nation has urbanized that quickly and neatly."

Twentieth Century Urban Imagery of New York City, 2003.

Abstract
As America developed in the nineteenth century, large cities sprang up across the nation. In particular, by the twentieth century with the help of an influx of immigration, New York City had become a bustling city with well over one million people. Opinions on the quality of city life were mixed, especially among artists. This paper refutes the arguments put forth by cultural historian, Alan Trachtenberg, in his book "Reading American Art", that artists, specifically photographers like Alfred Stieglitz, manipulated their art to convey their individual feelings toward the big city. The paper argues that Trachtenberg unfairly groups all artists that presented urban imagery into the same category. The photography Trachtenberg refers to differs substantially from other photographers and painters that portrayed city life. The paper includes several reproductions of photographs and paintings.
From the Paper
"However, most often, the Ashcan artists focused on the city as a collection of individual ?microneighborhoods?4 rather than a larger entity. This differs again from Trachtenberg?s assertion that the city is most often depicted as picturesque. Again, by inserting people into the picture, the picturesque nature is lost. In comparing Sloan?s A Woman?s Work to Hine?s Playground in a Tenement Alley there are parallels that can be drawn. Both show low class tenements with their laundry hanging out to dry over an alley. Sloan?s painting portrays the house work that women must do and suggests that the woman is the one who keeps the house in order. Hine?s photo proposes that while the children live in a run down rookery tenement, they are quite satisfied playing baseball."

From the Paper
"This essay will be an analysis of the development of two schools of liberal or liberal/democratic tradition that evolved during the mid-19th to late 20th centuries. Relevant theories and concepts from such influential thinkers as John Mill, Jeremy Bentham, Jean-Paul Sartre and Karl Mannheim will be discussed. Works of literature will be used in the conclusion in order to express why tolerance is so essential to the liberal tradition.
The core values of the liberal tradition are as follows: 1) the protection of individual rights against the demands of others and the state; 2) laissez-faire; 3) property requirements for voting and holding office. Regardless of the expanding definition of liberalism that would occur during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries (i.e., suffrage and concern over the welfare of the laboring poor), the underlying concern of all those..."

Abstract
In this review of Laurie Kay Abraham's book "Mama Might Be Better Off Dead: the Failure of Health Care in Urban America" two issues are considered. First, the paper looks at how the book demonstrates that America's health care system is failing some Americans, particularly the urban poor, in very significant ways. Second, the paper relates that Abraham's work illuminates the complexities of what providing health care for all really is. The result is a book that examines both the complexity and importance of the issue of health care in America.
From the Paper
"Her primary audience for this book is any person concerned about health care policy in the United States. That should include every voter, because it is a system of laws and the regulations that support those laws that affect the problems discussed in the book. Our government leaders and representatives should also read this book, because the book demonstrates with great clarity just how complex the problem of providing health care for our urban poor really is."
